2021 Huet Vouvray Le Haut Lieu Sec Blanc - 750ml
Vinous - 94 points
This is a very fine, fragrant and floral Le Haut Lieu Sec. While delicate, the 2021 fills the mouth with a cloud of pure fruit reminiscent of violets, apple and nectarine skin. There's a fine sinew that pulls the wine through on the finish. It can be approached in its youth but will go on and on. (5/2022)
Founded in 1928, Domaine Huet is Vouvray’s most revered estate and a global icon for Chenin Blanc. Its three legendary vineyards—Le Haut-Lieu, Le Mont, and Clos du Bourg—occupy Vouvray’s prestigious première côte, encompassing nearly all of the appellation’s Grand Cru-caliber terroir. A pioneer in biodynamic viticulture, Huet has long served as a model for conscientious winemaking at the highest level. The 2021 Le Haut-Lieu Sec delivers a head-turning aromatic profile—vibrant, layered, and seemingly endless. Its interplay of ripe fruit and delicate spice glides across the palate with a creamy yet refreshing texture, balancing voluptuous curves with mineral precision. Beneath its cool sophistication lies something deeply inviting: a quiet radiance that welcomes you like warmth after a winter’s chill. It is, truly, a jewel in the crown of the Loire.
